'Prime Now' is Amazon's one-hour delivery service that has been launched in London England. The service provides users with home-delivered products on the same day that they make a purchase. This is an exclusive offer for Amazon Prime members.
The service is connected to an app that can be used on smartphones or smart products and allows users to make purchases of books, electronics, food and toys. Selecting the one-hour delivery service when a purchase is made only adds a cost of £6.99. Another option is the two-hour delivery service that can be used free of charge between midnight and 8 o'clock am.
The Prime Now app will also track the courier so you know where your package is at all times and when it will be arriving.
